not beautiful, but rarely ... - convenient "All in one Set"

Rather, we have a complete solution (assuming a still functioning VCR device) with which we have the opportunity, our private records to get any long-term archive.

My first attempt with a Samsung Ultrabook had only limited success, because here, for whatever reason you just connect using the scart cable - but not the S-VHS input brought up and running. Since the re-recordings partly yes can take quite a long time, I did not want to completely "paralyze" my PC with it. But then I wanted to have the best image possible.

So I installed it then summarily but on the desktop PC (Medion Intel Core i7 - 2600 CPU @ 3:40 GHz, with 12 GB of memory and 64-bit Systems Win 8.1) Here, the S-VHS output worked. Although I can not say in retrospect that the image thus became really noticeably better ...

Since the program of course only can capture what the old tapes and devices still give, you should experiment a bit when it comes to tracking on the video source, or even use another. (If you still have one).

The videos can be placed on the computer only in real time of course. So, for 60 min recording, of course I also need 60 minutes. Time to put it aufzuspielen. As I edit the finished up playing file in an external editing program rather later, after I leave then the data generated to save WMV.Datei (720 x 576 - anything only increases the file but not the image quality). This storing process lasts then again about 30 minutes. After the video of one hour length, in an approximately 1.7 GB WMV.Datei on the computer.

You could save the video before this still cut with the same program, adjust color, or dub. But something I'd rather do with a "real" editing program, since the "board means quite" clear "are.

As a conclusion, one can say that there is no can be "art" conjured from old videos, but at least one has the opportunity to archive its remaining private memories and because it bothers me now little if the image often with some "noise bars" accompanied top and / or bottom of the image that is simply due to the outdated technology and storage of the tapes, and has for me something of an associated "flair" of bygone days. Because usually it does matter the content, on the one (25 years later) often can be broken laugh today ...

Ensure you should absolutely sure that the cables are not only solid sitting in the video player, but also the front of the enclosed USB connector, because a tiny too loose there, and there is no picture, and you are looking at goofy to any possible "causes" .. ,

This present version 7 has been around a long time and has not been "enhanced" in this "Edition" with new features but with enclosed "muzak" for dubbing.
